Comparison of specific phenotype frequencies based on CD11c expression in blood samples from healthy women.

Abstract

<p>Comparison of the frequency of CD8, γδTCR, MAIT and iNKT (Vα24) in CD11c⁺ and CD11c^-, CCR7^- CD3⁺ T cells from the same individual. (<b>a</b>) Fresh blood (n = 10) and (<b>b</b>) PBMC (n = 6). Gating strategy consisted on the following consecutive gates: lymphocytes, singlets, live CD14^- CD19^- CD3⁺ T cells and CCR7^- CD11c⁺or CD11c^- T cells (<i>see</i> <b><a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0154253#pone.0154253.s003" target="_blank">S3 Fig</a></b> <i>for further details</i>). Data were analyzed using the paired Student’s t-test.</p
